Homemade Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix

Thursday, November 29, 2012

I love to make homemade food gifts for the holidays. Last year I made some delicious Christmas Spice Tea Mix. I gave it as gifts to my co-workers, and they all loved it. This year, I am making this Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix. The mix tastes great. It has the perfect kiss of peppermint in every sip. I gave some away at Thanksgiving. Everyone gave it two thumbs up.

I bought the jars at World Market for $1.50 each. I crushed the candy canes in the food processor until they were turned into candy cane dust. I just mixed the crushed candy canes with the rest of the ingredients and poured the mix into the jars. This makes about 5 1/2 cups of mix. To make hot chocolate, combine 1/3 cup of mix with 1 cup of hot water or milk.

How many followers do you have? Because I LOVE the food you post on your blog! We made the beans and ham last night and it was AMAZING. And it was SO SIMPLE, and SO CHEAP. You can tell how excited I am, haha, but all of the caps. :D Anyhow, thanks for posting something new--it reminded me to thank you for yummy food. :)
